So I met with the pupils of the School on Wednesday as part of Local Democracy Week. Bright young lads raised many issues of interest which I promised to publish here:
1. Pond - they want the pond in Belhus Park sorted out so that it is safe to use.
2. Free Swimming for under 16s - They want the Council to fund this as an incentive for healthy living and social interraction.
3. Free buses for under 16s - They also want this funded as it is quite expensive for them to pay fares especially where they are actually much younger than they look
4. ID Cards to prove their age - In relation to 3 above, they hope the Council can fund a free ID card for age verification.
If you share these views, or have any comments, please email me. I did promise to pass these views on their councillors.
The purpose of this personal blogsite is to pass Ward or Thurrock related information across, and to allow residents comment on plans or proposals. Residents suggestions for developments in the community are certainly very welcome.
